In Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, an increase in TB cases has been observed in immigrants. Our objective is to describe ...
متن کاملProtein profiling and analysis of drug sensitive and multidrug resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a deadly infectious disease despite all the efforts to reduce its incidence. Spread of multidrug resistant TB has seriously undermined the efforts to control the disease globally. In this study protein expression profile of MDR and sensitive isolates of MTB were analyzed and compared in order to identify proteins, which could be used in prevention, diagno...
